TO 

PARENTS AND TEACHERS. 



The continued demand for Comly's Spelling Book, 
after a lapse of more than twenty years experience of 
its utility, has induced the compiler to revise and im- 
prove the work for the ease of teachers and the benefit 
of little children. 

In adapting and communicating instruction to infant 
minds, it should ever be remembered that an easy 
gradation is most natural. To acquire a competent 
knowledge of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, 
requires an effort of the powers of memory, that may 
be assisted by the association of emblems, names, or 
things that are familiar to sight, hearing, taste &c. In 
the author's primer, or first book for children, this is 
illustrated by cuts and by names. 

But in the combination of the sounds of letters, a 
still greater effort of the intellect of children is required. 
Names and figures of objects may assist in a few cases, 
but they are inadequate to the general formation of 
words. Spelling is the reading of letters, and sounds 
or words are formed by the rapid pronunciation of 
letters, b, a, — ba, is only the quick succession of the 
sounds of b and a : b, a, d, — bad, is in like manner the 
hasty expression of the three letters, b, a, d ; but another 
sound of a, occurs, which the teacher's example only 
can convey to the imitative powers of the pupil. So 
it will be perceived in all the various combinations of 
letters to form articulate sounds, and the gradation 
cannot be too simple for the exertions of the learner. 

It is the different powers of letters in the formation 
of words, and the arbitrary or anomalous use of them, 
that occasion the difficulties of acquiring the arts of 



4 TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS. 

spelling and reading. The selection of words for the 
first lessons being simple, and the powers of the letters 
easily combined, encourages the exertions of the pupil, 
till at length he gains confidence in himself, and be- 
comes able to conquer greater difficulties. 

As spelling is the reading of letters, so reading is the 
silent spelling of words. As soon as the pupil can 
spell words of three letters, he can be taught or in- 
structed to read them, and his proficiency in the reading 
of words, by mental spelling, will soon be found equal 
to his audible spelling. For, in acquiring thie art of 
reading, it is not so much the undjerstanding of thje 
subject the child is reading about, in his first lessqns, 
as it is the power of combining (mentally, or by the 
eye) the powers of the letters that form words. 

A scholar will also, with a little practice, learn to 
spell his words out of book, or by rote, almost as soon 
as by sight ; after first spelling, and then reading them 
in the book. 

Thus, by giving short exercises of spelling, three 
very important objects may be gained at once, or in 
about the same length of time ; spelling, reading, and 
reciting (or spelling out of book). This systejn of 
tuition may be pursued with advantage, through all the 
spelling and reading lessons, and even with classes of 
ready readers, the spelling out of book may be pursued, 
so that they will become familiar with this essential 
branch of a good education — correct orthography. To 
this may also be added, the definitions of the most diffi- 
cult words, learned by the help of a dictionary, and re- 
peated by the class, in rotation, after first spelling the 
words selected or given out by the teacher.

LESSON 5. 

One of the first things you have to learn, 
when you begin to read, is, to take care of 
your books. 

A clean book looks much better than a dirty 
one : then try to keep your books neat and 
clean, and do not let the leaves get torn, or 
curled at the corners. 

And w^hen you have done with them, put 
them by in the right place, that you may know 
where to find them, safe and clean.

LESSON 7. 

John was not very well, yet he was not so 
ick as to need a doctor. 

Being fretful, his nurse said he was cross, 
md put him in a dark closet, to make him he 
c[uiet. 

But he only cried the more, with fear and 
mger, so that he was in danger of going into 
its. 

Little hoys should never he put into dark 
losets to correct them, even when they are 
naughty ; hut when they are sick and fretful, 
t is very cruel to punish them.

The path of virtue is the path of peace ; in

Pride goeth hefore ruin, and a lofty spirit 
Defore a fall. 

Then let not pride have a place in thy heart, 
3ut strive to keep thy mind humble.

LESSON 11. 

When we rise out of our beds, let us seek to 
be still, and strive to turn our minds to our dear 
Lord, who dwells, by his Spirit, in the hearts 
of all those that are good ; and let us beg of 
him that he may help us, and keep us from all 
things that are not right in his sight. 

Let us strive to feel thankful for his great 
love and care over us, from day to day.

LESSON 13. 

And when we lie down to rest at night, let 
us again strive to turn our minds to the same 
gift of grace, for help to thank Him who made 
us, for nis kindness and care, and for all the 
good he has done for us. 

This is the way, dear children, for us to 
grow in grace ; and then the Lord will love 



us, and hless us.

LESSON 15. 



Good boys and good girls do as they are bid, 
and by this means they gain the love and good 
will of all who know them. 

They love to be still, and hear when good 
folks talk, and do not play, and make a noise. 

It is a good thing to learn good manners 
while young.

LESSON 7. 

Gold, silver, lead, iron, copper, and tin are 
called metals, and are dug out of the earth. 

Of all the metals, iron is said to be the most 
useful to us. Stoves, grates, locks, bolts, chains, 
shovels, and a great many other things are 
made of iron. 

Money is made of gold, silver, and copper. 
Lead and tin are used for pipes, vessels, toys, 
and sometimes to cover houses.

LESSON 9. 



The eye of the Lord is over all men. 

Those that fear him, and put their trust in 
him, shall be safe. 

He vs^ill bless those that fear him ; he w^ill 
love them, and do them good. 

Let us draw near to him, and wait on him, 
that he may draw near to us.

LESSON 10. 

The Oak Tree. 




The oak is one of the largest trees that grow 
in this part of the world. 

It bears nuts, called acorns ; they taste bitter, 
but they are very good food for pigs. 

An acorn, put into the ground, may in time 
become a large tree. 

Oaks live to a very great age, and the wood 
is very useful.

LESSON 2. 

The Lord, who made the ear of man. 
He needs must hear aright ; 

He made the eye, so all must then 
Be plain before his sight. 

That man or child is safe and sure, 

Who daily lives in awe. 
And that his life may be kept pure, 

Doth love God's holy law. 

For he shall live in peace and rest, 

He fears not at his death ; 
Love fills his heart, and hope his breast, 

With peace he yields his breath.

He is ever near us, to do us good ; and though 
we cannot see him with our outward eyes, we 
may feel his goodness in our hearts, and partake 
of his love.

Sugar is made from a kind of reed called sugar-cane, 
which grows in many parts of the West Indies, and in other 
warm countries. • 

It commonly grows to the height of five or six feet ; the 
stalk is about an inch thick, and has a number of knots in it 
near a foot and a half apart. 

When the canes are ripe, they are cut, and taken to a 
mill, where they are pressed and broken between two rollers. 

A white juice runs out, which is very sweet; and this is 
boiled with a little alum and lime : the scum is taken off, 
and after boiling a long time it becomes thick ; and when 
cool, is broken into coarse sugar. 

White or loaf sugar is made of brown sugar, by refining it.

LESSON 2. 

Tea is brought to us from China, Japan, and 
some other places. 

The leaves of the tree, or tea-plant, as some 
call it, are gathered in the spring, while they 
are young, and placed over a steam of boiling 
water, to wither them. 

They are then laid on plates of copper, and 
dried over the lire, or in the sunshine, which 
curls them up, in the manner we see them.

Coffee is the seed of a fruit like a cherry. 
The tree that bears it grows in warm countries. 

The fruit is spread on mats in the sunshine 
to dry, and then bruised with rollers, to force 
out the seeds ; this divides them in two. 

They are again dried in the sun, before they 
are put on board the ships to be brought to us.

LESSON 6. 

Salt is made of sea-water, or from springs of 
salt water. .That which is called rock salt is 
dug out of salt mines. 

Large pits or basins are made to contain the 
water, which, being first warmed, is left to the 
heat of the sun, and the wind, to dry. 

In a short time the top of the briny water is 
covered with a crust, which growls harder and 
harder, till it becomes salt.

LESSON 7. 



Children, try to have a true sense of what 
you learn, and do not slip over your words or 
lessons without knowing them well. 

If you are at a loss to know the meaning of 
a word, or sentence, ask your teacher to explain 
it to you. 

Do not play in school, nor tease those who 
sit next to you ; for this is wrong, even if your 
teacher should not see it.

LESSON 9. 



Many have wished, when they have grown 
up to be men or women, that they had bent 
their minds more to their learning while they 
were young. 

When it is too late to learn, or out of their 
power to study, they are sorry that the time of 
their youth was wasted in play and idleness, 
which ought to have been employed in learn- 
ing their lessons, and striving to improve. 

Now is your time, improve it well, and you 
will not have to repent it when you grow up. 

Time, once past, never returns ,• the moment 
which is lost, is lost for ever.

LESSON 11. 

Birds' nests 

When spring comes, how husy the birds are 
in building their nests, and taking care of their 
young ones. 

Some make their nests on high trees, and 
some on the ground ; some in the woods, and 
others in the fields and meadows. 

Some build in thick bushes, or briers, and 
others in barns, houses, and chimneys. 

With much labour, some peck holes in trees 
that are dead, and therein make their nests; 
while others lay their eggs on the ground, 
without making any nest at all.

LESSON 13. 



How various also are the forms of their 
nests ! 

Some collect dead grass, roots, or straw, 
with which they make the outside of the nest, 
and line it v/ith soft feathers, moss, or wool. 

Others build their nests v. ith straw or sticks, 
and cement them with clay or mud ; others 
again unite them with gum, and line them 
with some soft substance. 

Some kinds of birds suspend their nests from 
the bough of a tree, and form them of tow, 
bark, or hemp.

LESSON 15. 

The size and colour of their eggs are as va- 
rious as their nests ; but they all appear to be 
tender of their young ones, and careful to pro- 
vide food for them, and to nourish and protect 
them till they are old enough to take care of 
themselves. 

How w^anton, hovs^ cruel is it, then, to rob 
the birds of their eggs, or their young ! 

And yet some little boys are so hard-hearted 
as to destroy their nests, and take their eggs ; 
and some w^ho take the young birds from their 
soft, vv^arm nests, forget to feed them ; and then 
the poor little birds die w^itli hunger and cold.

Now she flies to yonder tree ; 
There she sits, and sweetly sings ; 

Pretty robin, come to me. 
Come and sit upon my knee. 

And thy lovely feathers show ; 
Crumbs of bread, I'll give to thee. 

And, when thou pleasest, let thee go. 
I'll not hurt thy little nest. 

Neither take thy eggs away ; 
But I'll feed thee with the best. 

Let thee go, or let thee stay.

LESSON 2» 



Be careful not to let anger have place in 
thy mind ; hut when others provoke thee, and 
thy temper begins to rise, he sure to keep thy 
mouth shut, and not suffer thy tongue to utter 
harsh words ; for these add fuel to the fire of 
wrath. 

He that is slow to anger is better than the 
mighty ; and he that ruleth his own spirit, is 
greater than he that taketh a city

TVater-fowIs. 

Some birds live on fish, frogs, and worms-) 
and have very long legs to wade in the water; 
— others have short legs for swiiiiming: and 
their toes are joined together by a skin that 
grows between them, which, like oars, or the 
fins of a fish, helps them to swim. 

Many water-fovv' Is have long necks, to reach ; 
grubs and worms at the bottom of ponds. 

As they live much in cold water, their 
feathers are very thick, and they have plenty 
of soft down to keep them warm. 

When they put their heads under the water, 
a thin skin is drawn over the eye. which hin- 
ders the water from getting into it, and yet 
does not prevent them from seeing. 



40 



LESSON 6. 



Many birds, at the approach of winter, fly 
away into warmer countries, where they stay 
till spring, and then return to us again. 

Some stay with us all winter, and live on 
grass-seeds and^rain. 

How great, how wise, and how good is the 
bountiful Creator, who has formed so great a 
variety of birds, and placed them in such order 
that each knows and keeps its proper place ! 

He provides food for them all, and takes 
care of them all, so that " not a sparrow can 
fall to the ground without his notice."

LESSON 2. 

Love between brothers and sisters. 

Whatever brawls disturb the street. 
There should be peace at home ; 

Where sisters dwe]l, and brothers meet. 
Quarrels should never come. 

Birds in their little nests agree. 

And 'tis a shameful sight, 
When children of one family 

Fall out, and chide, and fight. 

Hard names at first, and threatening words. 

That are but noisy breath. 
May grow to clubs and naked swords, 

To murder and to death.

LESSON 4. 



Let love through all your actions run^ 

Let all your words be mild ; 
Live like the virgin Mary's son. 

That sweet and lovely child. 

His soul was gentle as a lamb. 

And as his stature grew, 
He grew in favour both with man. 

And God, his father, too. 

The Lord most high, who reigns above, 
Does from his heavenly throne, 

Behold what children dwell in love. 
And marks them for his own.

LESSON 6. 

The good boy. 

A good boy loves his parents, brothers, and 
sisters. 

He always minds what his parents say to 
him, and tries to please them. 

If they desire him not to do a thing, he does 
not do it; if they tell him to do any thing, he 
does it cheerfully. 

When they deny him what he wants, he does 
not grumble or pout out his Hps, or look angry, 
or cry ; but he thinks that his parents know 
what is proper for him, better than he does, 
because they are older and wiser. 

He is kind to his brothers and sisters, and to 
all his little playmates. He never teases them, 
nor quarrels with them, nor calls ill names.

LESSON 8. 



i 



He does not behave rudely to any body; 
but he treats all with respect. 

If he sees any persons who are lame, or 
crooked, or very old and poor, he does not 
laugh at them, nor mock or make game of 
them, because he knovy^s it is wrong ; but he 
is kind to them, and glad when he can help 
them, or do them good. 

When he sees naughty boys and girls, who 
pout and cry, and get angry, and quarrel or 
fight, he is very sorry, and tries to persuade 
them to do better. 

He is kind even to dumb creatures, such as 
beasts, birds, fishes, insects, and worms; for 
he knows that, though they cannot speak, they 
can feel as w ell as we. 

LESSON 9. 

Even those animals that he does not think 
pretty, he takes care not to hurt ; and he is very 
sorry when he sees the poor horses beaten by 
the drivers, when they are drawing heavy 
loads. 

He never takes delight in catching flies, or 
other insects, and pulling off their wings or 
legs; because he thinks it is cruel to torture 
the^n, and give them pain. 

He likes very much to see the little birds pick 
up moss, or hay, or bits of wool or hair, and 
carry them in their bills to make their nests. 

And if he finds a bird's nest, he does not 
touch the eggs or the young birds, nor do them 
any harm. 



45 



LESSON 10. 



He loves his teachers, and all who have the 
care of him, and who tell him what is good ; 
and he is very willing to take their advice. 

He often thinks how kind they are to him, 
to instruct him, and to keep him out of dan- 
ger, and he is thankful for their love and care. 

He likes to go to school, and to read and 
write, and to learn something good every day ; 
that, if he should live to he a man, he may be 
wise and good.

LESSON 2. 

He never takes any thing that is not his own, 
nor meddles with it without leave. 

When he walks into the garden or orchard, 
he does not pull flowers or gather fruit, unless 
he is told that he may do so. 

He never teases his parents for green apples 
or unripe fruit, or any thing else that is not 
proper for him ; but he is content and thank- 
ful for what they give him. 

At table he sits up, and is quiet, till he is 
served, and then eats what is given him, in a 
decent manner, without talking, or asking for 
more, when he has enough.

LESSON 4. 

He never tells a lie, nor departs from the 
truth. If he has done any mischief, or said 
any nanghty word, he confesses it, and says 
he is very sorry, and that he will try to do so 
no more. He never tries to conceal his faults, 
but he is willing to own them, and try to do 
better. 

When any body speaks to him, he does not 
hang down his head, or mutter, or look another 
way ; but he answers in a modest and proper 
manner, and always speaks loud enough to be 
heard plainly. When he reads or repeats his 
lesson, he always tries to do it with a clear 
voice, so as to be heard distinctly.

LESSON 6. 



When lie lies down at night, he tries to re- 
member all he has been doing, and all that he 
has been saying during the day. If he has 
done or said any thing wrong, he is sorry, and 
hopes he shall do so no more. 

He loves to pray to God, and to hear, and 
read, and think about him ; and he loves to go 
to meeting with his parents and friends, to 
worship him. 

Every body that knows this good boy loves 
him, and speaks well of him, and is kind to 
him, and he is very happy ; for those who are 
good are always the most happy.

LESSON 2. 

The Camel. 




The camel is a native of Arabia. He is 
one of the most useful beasts in that part of 
the world. 

He is able to carry very heavy burdens, and 
he will kneel down to receive them, and when 
his load is put on, he rises on his feet again : 
but if it be too great, he will not rise, but cry 
till a part of it is taken off. 

The camel will travel two days w^ithout 
eating any thing, and a much longer time 
without drink.

LESSON 4. 

The camel has a very small head, short ears, 
and a long bending neck. It has two bunches 
on its back, on which they place its load. Its 
height, to the top of the bunches, is about six 
feet and a half. It has a long tail, small hoofs, 
and flat feet. 

Its milk and its flesh are used by the Arabs 
for food, and its hair is made into clothing.

a very smart, lively boy ; 


he was the son of a 


worthy man, w^ho lived in 


a tow^n, near w hich 


manv accidents had hap- 


pened to youth and others by horses. * \ 


His parents had 


often told him not to go i 


near to a horse, nor 


' attempt to ^et on one to 1 


ride, without their leave ; and pointed out the 


danger of little boys riding on horses before 


they are old enough to manage them.

LESSON 4. 



But Henry, being one day at play with an- 
other little boy, at some distance from home, 
and seeing a nice plump little horse, he did 
not regard his parents' advice, but asked leave 
of the owner to ride it. 

As soon as the man had given them leave, 
though he told them not to ride fast, yet they 
both got on, and began to kick and beat the 
horse, to make him gallop. 

Upon this a dog ran out, and began to bark 
at them, and the horse set off at full speed.

LESSON 6. 

The two little boys rode but a little way be- 
fore the hindmost one fell off; and though he 
was not very much hurt, he was greatly terri- 
fied. 

Henrj^ was not able to guide the horse, but 
he fell soon after, and his foot being in the stir- 
rup, he was dragged with his head on the 
ground for some distance ; and when the peo- 
ple caught the horse, and released him from 
the saddle, he appeared almost dead, and did 
not know any thing.

They soon found that he was very much 
bruised, and that one of his arms was broken. 

In this state he was taken home, and had 
his arm set, and his wounds dressed ; but he 
suffered very great pain, and for many months 
he could not use his arm. 

Now think what great trouble it must have 
given his parents, because he had been so 
naughty, and did what they had told him not 
to do.

Obedience to parents. 

het children that would fear the Lord, 
Hear what their teachers say ; 

With reverence meet their parents' word. 
And with delight obey. 

Have w^e not heard w^hat dreadful plagues 

Are threaten'd by the Lord, 
To him that breaks his father's law. 

Or mocks his mother's word ? 

But those that worship God, and give 

Their parents honour due. 
Here on this earth they long may live. 

And live hereafter too.

LESSON 4. 



The days that are past are gone for ever : 
those that are to come may not come to us. 
The present time only is ours ; let us, there- 
fore, improve it as much as possible. 

Every desire of the heart, every secret 
thought, is known to him who made us. 

How pleasant it is, when we lie down at 
night, to reflect, that we are at peace with all 
persons ; that we have taken care to perform 
the duties of the day ; that the Almighty be- 
holds and loves us.

LESSON 2. 



Blessed is the man that walketh in the fear 
of the Lord. 

Happy is he that findeth wisdom ; for the 
ways of wisdom and virtue are all pleasant, 
and lead to life and peace ; but they that hate 
wisdom and truth, walk in the paths of dark- 
ness, which lead to death. 

Therefore love wisdom, and pursue the 
paths of virtue and peace ; so shall glory and 
safety be thy reward.

LESSON 6. 

Behold the poor man, just coming home 
from his daily work, with a bag on his shoul- 
der, laden with the reward of his labour. 

His wife, the mother of a number of small 
children, is gathering chips and sticks, to make 
a fire. 

" Mother," says one of the little girls, " has 
father brought any meal home?" "Yes," says 
the mother, " and we will soon have some 
cakes made for supper."

Their mother hastens to prepare supper; and 
they wait with patience till the fire burns and 
the cakes are baked ; 

When they sit down on the floor with their 
cups in their laps, to eat their cake and milk, 
much pleased with their homely meal. 

They do not pout, nor quarrel, nor cry, be- 
cause it is not better, but they eat it with cheer- 
fulness.

LESSON 12. 




Those who live in riches and fulness, whose | 


tables are 


furnished with plenty 


of the good 1 


things of this life, should remember to be kind | 


to the poor. 






There are many poor 


people in 


this land of 


plenty, \\] 


lose houses do not shelter them from || 


the storm 


; some have neither fire 


i nor clothes 1 


enough to 


secure them fr 


om the cold, and many 


children are ragged and 


dirty, and cannot get 


shoes nor 


stockings to wear all winter. 1

LESSON 14. 



The tables Of many poor people are often 
nearly bare, and the children are crying for 
bread, but there is none to give them. 

When the precious morsel that was earned 
by hard labour is brought home, it is soon 
gone ; and they know not where the next sup- 
ply is to jcome from : they often go hungry all 
day, and to bed at night without any supper.

O ye rich ! whose barns and stores are filled

loaded with abundance more than you can eat^ 
consider the poor. 

Ye who live in large and fine houses, with 
floors covered with carpets; who can sit by 
your warm fires, where the cold chilling wind 
and driving snow cannot come; whose beds 
are soft feathers, with thick and costly covering ; 
O ye, who are thus blessed, be kind to the poor !

LESSON 18, 

Beavers. 




The beaver is a native of the northern parts of Europe 
and Asia, and also of America. 

Its length, from nose to tail is about three feet ; and its 
tail is about a foot long, in shape like an egg, only flat, and 
is covered with scales like those of a fish. 

Its fur is very soft and fine, and is used by hatters to make 
the finest hats. 

It has very strong cutting teeth, short ears, and a blunt 
nose.

LESSON 20. 

Beaver dams. 

For the purpose of building a dam, they 
choose a piece of level ground near a river. 
or with a stream of water running through it, 
which they form into a pond by making a 
bank, or dam, across it. 

This they do by fixing stakes in the ground, 
five or six feet long, placed in rows ; which 
they fasten together w ith twigs, after the man- 
ner in which baskets are m.ade, and plaster up 
the cracks with clay. .

LESSON 22. 

The length of a beaver dam is sometimes 
as much as a hundred feet, and the breadth, at 
the bottom, ten or twelve feet ; but they are 
made sloping towards the top, which is not 
more than two feet wide. 

Their cabins or huts are built upon piles in 
the edge of the pond, of a round or oval shape. 

They are sometimes eight feet high above 
the top of the water, and have two or three 
stories. 

The walls or sides are often two feet thick, 
and are made of earth, stoiies, and sticks, laid 
very closely, and then plastered smooth on the 
inside, like a house. 

In these cabins they store their winter food, 
which c(?nsists of bark and boughs of trees.

LESSON 24. 

There are often as many as two hundred 
beavers at work in building one of these dams, 
and their huts or cabins ; about which they use 
their very strong and sharp fore teeth, in felhng 
trees, and cutting off logs. 

While some of them are cutting off limbs 
for stakes to be driven into the ground, others 
are busy in bringing clay to plaster with, or in 
rolling logs, or carrying stakes and twigs for 
the building. 

When their huts are finished and dry, they 
lay up their winter stores in them in nice or- 
der, and live in these cabins during the cold 
weather of winter.

What 


some call the works of nature are the 1 


works of God. 






The more we study and know of his works. 


the more we see of the wisdom and goodness 


of the great Creator. 






He formed all creatures to suit the modes of | 


life for which they were made. 


and he gives 1 


them all the comforts of which their nature is j 


capable.

A little boy, w^ho had been sent on an errand, 
saw a robin's nest by the way ; and as he came 
near to it, the old bird flew oif — but having 
young ones, she flew about, and with many 
cries, showed her concern for them. 

The boy stood, and threw stones at her ; till 
at last, one struck her, and she fell down dead. 

At first he was pleased with what he had 
done : but, after a few minutes, he felt very 
great horror and sorrow for having, in his 
sport, killed an innocent bird, w^hile'she was 
careful for her young. 



72 

LESSON 30. 

He stood still, and looked at her lying dead on 
the ground, and thought that those young ones 
for which she had been so careful, must now 
perish for want of their dam to nourish them. 

After soo^e painful thoughts on the subject, 
he climbed up the tree, and took all the young 
robins and killed them ; thinking that better 
than to leave them to pine away, and starve to 
death, in great misery. 

He then went on his errand, but for some 
hours after, he could think of nothing else but 
the cruelties he had committed, and he was 
much troubled in his mind on account thereof.

LESSON 32. 

Thus we may see that He, whose, tender mercies are 
over all his works, hath placed a principle in the human 
mind, which incites us to do good to every living creature. 

This being rightly attended to, people become kind 
and tender hearted one to another, and also towards all 
dumb creatures, such as birds, beasts, fishes, worms, and 
insects. 

But if this tender feeling in the mind is not regarded, 
people become hard hearted and cruel, not only towards 
animals, but even to one another. 

Take not in sport that life you cannot give, 
For all things have an equal right to live.

LESSON 34. 

Almighty God, thy piercing eye 

Strikes through the shades of night. 
And our most secret actions lie 

All open to thy sight. 
There's not a sin that we commit. 

Nor wicked word we say, 
But in God's dreadful hook 'tis writ. 

Against the judgment day. 
O may I now for ever fear 

To indulge a sinful thought ; 
Since the great God can see and hear 

And writes down every fault.

LESSON 36. 




How pleasant 


it is, at the end of the day, 1 


No follies to have to repent ; 




But reflect on 


the past, and be able to say, 1 


That my time has been properly spent. || 


When I've done ail my work w 


ith patience and care, 


And been good, and obliging, 


and kind. 


I lie on my pillow, and sleep away there, || 


With a happy and peaceable 


mind. j 


But instead of all this, when it must be confess'd || 


That I careless and idle have 


been ; 1 


I lie down as 


usual, and go to my rest, 1 


But feel discontented within.

LESSON 40. 

When thou hast done any thing that is 
wrong, and feelest uneasy, or troubled in thy 
mind therefor, remember and know that this, 
which thus troubles and disquiets thee, is 
nothing less than the Spirit of our Lord and 
Saviour himself, who dwells in thy heart, and 
knows the evil that thou hast done. 

Take care that thou stifle not this feeling, 
but attend to it in stillness, and seek to know 
what it is ; and thus turn thy mind to thy dear 
Redeemer, that thou mayest repeoit, and ask 
forgiveness of him for thy bad conduct ; and 
then take heed to thyself, to guard against ever 
doing the like again.

LESSON 42. 

Children who eat plums or cherries should 
not swallow the stones. 

Do not eat green apples^ or other 
fruit, for it is very unwholesome. 

Never put pins, or needles, or 
your mouths ; for some children 
killed by swallowing such things. 

Never stick pins in your sleeves. A boy 
once had some pins stuck in his coat sleeve ; 
and by some accident they run into his arm, 
and pained him yery much, so as to bring on 
a locked jaw ; of which he died in great 
misery.

LESSON 2. 



Never play ball in the house, nor by the side 
of the house, when the windows are open. 

A little boy was once playing w^ith his ball in 
a room w^here there was a looking glass, when 
his father and mother were gone from home. 

Before he began to play, he had turned the 
back of the glass towards him for fear he 
should break it. It would have been better 
if he had gone out of doors to play. 

I wonder he was not afraid of breaking the 
windows, but perhaps he did not think of them. 



80 



LESSON 3. 



As the little boy was busy in playing with 
his ball about the room, and not thinking of 
the looking glass, the ball struck against the 
wooden back, and broke the glass. 

When he saw the damage he had done, he 
was very sorry ; and nfl doubt wished he had 
not played ball in the house, as he was afraid 
his parents would be angry with him. 

However, he thought it would be best to con- 
fess his fault, and speak the truth about it.

LESSON 5. 



As soon as his father and mother came 
home, he went to them, and said. Father, I 
have been playing with my ball in the house, 
and have broken the best looking glass ; I am 
very sorry for it. 

His father, seeing how honest he was to come 
and confess his fault, looked kindly at him, and 
said, " I would rather that all the looking 
glasses in the house should be broken, than that 
one of my children should tell an untruth."

LESSON 9. 

As the little boy was very sorry for the mischief he had 
done, and had behaved so well as to confess his fault, his 
parents forgave him. 

After that time he saw how good it was to own his faults, 
and always tell the truth about them ; that if he met with 
any accident, he confessed it, and would not, on any account, 
tell a lie, or depart from the truth. 

It is a wicked thing to tell falsehoods ; and those who 
give way thereto will not be believed, even when they 
speak the truth. 

But he who owns his faults, and always keeps to the 
truth, will gain favour.

LESSON 11. 

Against lying. 
O 'tis a lovely thing for youth 

To walk betimes in wisdom's way. 
To fear a lie, to speak the truth. 

That we may trust to ail they say ! 
But liars we can never trust, 

Tho' they should speak the thing that's true ; 
For he that does one fault at first. 

And lies to hide it, makes it two.

There is an hour w^hen I must die. 

Nor do I know how soon 'twill come : 
How many children, young as I, 

Are call'd by Death to hear their doom. 
Let me improve the hours I have, 

Before the day of grace is fled ; 
There's no repentance in the grave, 

Nor pardon offered to the dead.

LESSON 16. 

Our best friends are those who tell us of our 
faults, and teach us how to correct them. 

Good or bad habits, formed in youth, com- 
monly go with us through life. 



When we confess our errors, and are 



sorry 



for them, generous and good persons will pity 
and forgive us. 

We must not do wrong, because we see 
others do so. 

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth 
doing well ; but we cannot do any thing well 
without attention. 

If we do not take pains, we must not expect 
to excel in any thing.

Never sport with pain or distress in any of 
your amusements, nor treat even the meanest 
worm or insect with wanton cruelty. 

When you see those who are poor or old, 
lame or blind, sick or in pain, try to feel pity 
for them, and be thankful to your heavenly 
Father for his providence and care over you, 
and the many blessings which you enjoy. 

We see many little children running about 
the streets, who are dirty and ragged, and ap- 
pear as if they had none to take care of them. 

How kind are our parents and friends, who 
provide food and clothing for us, and how grate- 
ful ought we to be for their love and care ! 

In the days of youth, v^^hen health and 
pleasure attend us, it is good for us to think 
of death, and frequently to consider our latter 
end.

Paper. 


Paper is made of old rags, that are no longer 


fit for use as clothes. 


They are sorted. 


and cut into small pieces, 


and washed clean. 


They are then put into 


a vessel filled with 


welter, in which is a rollor 


with sharp knives set in it; this roller is turn- | 


ed round very swi 


ftly by a mill, and cuts or 1 


grinds the rags into a pulp or paste, which is 


taken up by a mould, and made into paper.

The mould 


is a kind of sieve, just the size |

paper, and is 


formed of very

This mould 


, being dipped

takes up just <

It is then pressed very hard by means of 


strong iron screws, and afterwards hun^' up 


to dry. 






Next it is sized and sorted, 


and put up into 


quires for writing or printing on, and then[| 


pressed again.

LESSON 3. 

Let Dogs alone. 

A large mastiff dog was kept by a timber 
merchant to guard his yard, and was com- 
monly chained by day, but let loose at night. 

A boy, w^ho lived near, took a pleasure in 
teasing the dog, by throwing sticks and stones 
at him, and trying to vex him. 

The dog w^as loose one day, and ranging 
about the yard, when the boy entered ; and 
he immediately attacked him with great fury. 

The boy now felt the effects of his ill usage 
to the dog, and was sorry he had been so un- 
kind and cruel to him, but it seemed too late ; 
for the enraged animal seized him by the 
throat, and brought him to the ground, and it 
is most likely w^ould have put an end to his 
life, had not some person come to assist him, 
and with niuch difficulty took the dog off.

On sitting down to meals. 

When at my meals I take my seat. 
My thoughts to heaven I raise ; 

That I may favour'd he to eat- 
With gratitude and praise. 

This grateful sense of hounteous good. 
Such humhle feelings spread ; 

That while I eat my outward food. 
My soul has heav'nly bread.

Mvantage of early Religion. 

^Tis easier work^ if we begin 

To serve the Lord betimes^ 
While sinners that grow old in sin^ 

Are harden! d in their crimes. 

'Twill save us from a thousand snares., 

To mind religion young; 
Grace will preserve our following years^ 

And make our virtue strong. 

Then let the work of prayer and praise 
Employ my youthful breath : 

Thus Im prepared for length of day s^ 
Or fit for early death.

LESSON 2. 

The attentive and industrious girl. 

We like to have the good-will of our pa- 
rents and friends, of our brothers, sisters and 
playmates, and to know that they love us. 

Now if we would gain the love and affec- 
tion of others, we must be kind, dutiful, and 
obliging, willing to be taught, and desirous to 
learn ; not soon angry, but patient, good na- 
tured, and submissive. 

Such is little Mary. She always minds 
what her father and mother say to her. She 
is not noisy, nor troublesome ; sullen nor un- 
mannerly ; so that they like to have her with 
them, and to instruct her.

LESSON 4. 

She loves her book, and takes care to keep 
it clean and neat, so that it is never left lyin^ 
about or on the floor, nor does she let it get 
torn, or curled at the corners. 

She has learned to read so w^ll, and she is 
so good a girl, that her father has given her a 
number of little books, which she reads by 
herself, when she pleases ; and she takes pains 
to understand what she reads. 

She often reads to her parents, and takes 
care to mind her stops, and to read with a clear 
voice, so as to be heard distinctly ; and she im- 
proves very much.

LESSON 6. 

Whatever she is set about, or undertakes to 
do. she takes pains to do it well ; for she thinks 
it best to attend to one thing at a time till she 
gets it done ; and while she is doing one thing, 
not to be thinking about another. 

If she has made a mistake, or done any 
thing wrong, she is sorry for it, and tries to 
do better in future ; and when she is told of a 
fault, she does not deny it, but endeavours to 
amend, and avoid it another time. 

As she is desirous to improve and grow wiser 
and better as she grows older, she is wdlling 
to be told of her faults, and is thankful for good 
counsel.

LESSON 8. 



When she wants to know any thing, she asks her 
father or mother to tell her ; and she tries to under- 
stand and to remember what they say ; but if they do 
not think proper to answer her questions, she does not 
tease them, or continue asking ; but is quiet, and turns 
her mind to something else. 

She likes to sit by her mother, and sew or knit. 
When she sews, she does not take long stiches, nor 
pucker her work, but she does it neatly, just as her 
mother tells- her. She always keeps her work clean ; 
and when she has done it, she folds it up, and puts it by 
carefully.

LESSON lb. 

Such a careful little girl very seldom loses 
her thimhle, her needles, scissors, or thread, or 
any thing else she has to work with. 

She never puts her needles or pins in her 
mouth ; for she has been told that it is danger- 
ous, and that many sorrowful accidents have 
happened hy it. 

She has a little trunk or drawer for her 
clothes, and she takes care to fold them up 
neatly, and keep them in nice order. If she 
sees a hole or rent in any of her clothes, she 
mends it, or asks her mother to have it done.

The humming Birds. 

A man once found a nest of little humming 
birds, which he put into a cage, and placed it 
by his chamber window. 

The old birds came to feed them every 
hour in the day ; and they soon became so 
tame" as to live in the room with their young 
ones. 

They were then fed by the owner with a 
clear paste, made of wine, biscuit, and sugar ; 
and they often perched on his hand to eat. 

In this manner they lived with him about 
six months ; till one night he forgot to hang 
up their cage, and the rats came and devoured 
them all.

LESSON 14. 

Joseph Harris, a child of eleven years old, during his 
last illness, gave the following advice to his sister. Dost 
thou know that it is thy duty to pray .to the Lord every 
night, to return him thanks for his preservation through the 
day, and ta desire his protection through the night ; also, 
in the morning, to return thanks to him for relieving thee 
from darkness ? 

When thou sittest down to meals, recollect how many 
there are that would be glad of the smallest morsel, while 
thou hast full and plenty ; return the Almighty thanks for 
his bounty, and be good to the poor. 

Be dutiful to thy mother ; mind the advice of thy un- 
cles, aunts-, and friends. Love every body; even them 
that don't love thee ; love thy enemies. Endeavour to 
assist thy poor afflicted mother, who is struggling through 
the world, with four children without a father, and her 
fifth going to be taken from her. Love thy little brother 
and sister ; endeavour to teach them the truth, and walk 
in the paths of truth, and the Almighty will be a father to 
thee.

The wounded Bird. 

On hearing the report of a gun, and the flutter of m^ny 
wings above my head, I looked up, and beheld a flock of 
partridges. One of them, being wounded, was unable to 
keep up with the rest, and flying faintly to the ground, hid 
itself among the grass just by me. I beheld the poor bird 
mangled and bleeding, and rolling itself upon the ground in 
excess of agony. I heard its mournful cries, and saw its 
distress without being able to relieve it. I was witness to 
misery which rent my heart, but the pangs of which I could 
not alleviate. If sportsmen knew the agonies of a wound- 
ed bird, left to pine and to perish alone, those who had any 
feelings of humanity would certainly relinquish so cruel a 
practice.

Praise the Creator. 

Come, let us praise God, for he is very great; 
let us bless him, for he is very good. 

He made all things ; the sun to rule the day, 
the moon to shine by night : He made the great 
whale of the sea, and the little worm also, that 
crawls on the ground. 

The little birds sing praises to God, when 
they warble sweetly in the green shade ; and 
I will praise him also with my voiccj and sing 
of all his wondrous works. 

When I am older, I will praise him better ; 
and will never forget God, as long as my life 
remains in me.

LESSON 20. 

Advice to Youth. 

As soon as you are awake in the morning, 
strive to turn j^our minds inward, and to still 
and silence all your own thought:?, that so you 
may wait on your great Creator, to feel love 
and thankfulness arise in your hearts to Him, 
for his divine care and preservation of you 
during the night ; and sincere desires that he 
may keep you from all things that are not right 
in his sight the ensuing day. 

Then rise ; and when you are dressed, 
wash your hands and faces clean, and comb 
your heads ; and go cheerfully about the busi- 
ness*your parents or master may direct.

LESSON 3. 



When you are at school, remember that it 
is out of kindness and love to you, that your 
parents have sent you there, or procured you 
the liberty of going. Take pains to improve 
in reading, writing, or whatever else your pa- 
rents or teachers are so kind as to instruct you 
in, or wish you to learn ; and do not disappoint 
their hopes, or grieve them by being careless 
and negligent about your learning, but apply 
yourselves with diligence and attention to 
whatever studiej or business your teacher «may 
appoint you.

LESSON 4. 



In coming to school and returning home, 
be careful to behave with decency and so- 
briety. Do not be noisy, nor loiter by the 
way, but pass along quietly, without offending 
or hurting any person or thing, either by words 
or actions. 

At evening, when you go to bed, consider 
coolly, before you close your eyes for sleep, 
how you have spent the foregoing day ; and 
if you find nothing said or done amiss, and 
every thing speaks peace and innocence within ; 
let an humble acknowledgment and grateful 
thankfulness to the great Preserver of men fill 
your hearts, for his care and preservation of 
you through the day.

LESSON 6. 



The fear of the Lord is the beginning of 
wisdom. With this constantly on your minds, 
much advice will not be needful, and without 
it, none will be effectual. 

If you live in this fear, it will regulate every 
thought, word, and action. At your rising in 
the morning, and lying down at night, it will 
impress your minds with gratitude to your 
Creator for his continued favours. 

It will lead you to a vsober, decent beha- 
viour at meals. It will teach you to observe a 
punctual attendance on divine worship, and a 
quiet, humble deportment while there ; as well 
as decency of conduct in going to and return- 
ing therefrom.

LESSON 8. 

As you continue to walk in this holy fear, 
it will instruct you to be dutiful to your pa- 
rents, guardians, and teachers ; and will tend 
to preserve you from strife, ill-will, speaking 
evil of others, and every other kind of im- 
proper conduct. 

It will most effectually prevent you from 
ever telling a lie, or using your Maker's name 
in vain. It will preserve you from evil in this 
world, and prepare you for a state of never- 
ending happiness in that which is to come.

LESSON 2. 



Good children love to read the Bible, or to 
hear other people read in it. It was written 
by good men, and it is the best ^nd most ex- 
cellent of all books. 

In the Bible we read of those who loved 
God, and whom he loved and blessed ; such as 
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Joseph and Moses, 
and Samuel and David, and many others, men, 
women, and children. 

There we read of the great and good things 
that God has done for us, and for all people ; 
how just, and wise, and kind, and powerful, 
he is; and what we must do to serve and to 
please him.

LESSON 4. 

There- also we read of Jesus Christ, the 
Son of God, who never did any thing that 
was wrong. He never did harm to any, 
but went about doing good to the bodies 
and to the souls of men. 

He was gentle, patient, and kind to all 
persons, even to those who were unkind to 
him, who mocked him, and treated him with 
scorn and derision. 

And even when cruel men were about 
to kill him, and had nailed him to a cross, 
he prayed for his persecutors, saying, " Fa- 
ther, forgive them, for they know not what 
they do." .
